A weekend meeting up with friends, a walk along part of the Saxon Shore Way (today’s image) and catching up on TV. My top two January TV picks are: Have you watched any of these, and how did you find them?

Daily thoughts… Day 20 of 366
As part of my 50th year and this ‘Daily thoughts’ series, I aim to appreciate important people in my life and celebrate them. Today I’m celebrating someone who I’ve known for almost thirty years. When we first met I had just left university and was working in a bank to save money to go travelling.Continue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 20 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 19 of 366
I’ve been reflecting on my journey this week; tiring, but I learned a lot. Sometimes we push ourselves into new environments, and sometimes we get a little push and have to decide if we are going to sink or swim. And yes, I do feel that it is a choice – it is all toContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 19 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 18 of 366
It was a balmy -5 degrees on my drive this morning as I was attempting to thaw the ice on the outside AND inside of my windscreen. I had got up at the crack of dawn to get the early train but the thawing took longer than expected and I had the pleasure of sittingContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 18 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 17 of 366
I’m not sure how on earth I managed to commute to London five days per week for over 20 years, it’s flipping tiring! After a very full day I had a nice snooze on the train home 😂 Today was the first day of a two-day planning session called Termly Increment (TI) Planning, which takesContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 17 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 16 of 366
A busy day today as our department is preparing for a 2-day Termly Increment (TI, or for those of you familiar with Agile – PI) planning session starting tomorrow. More on that subject over the next two days I’m sure! Our Director sent out his newsletter today and what he had to say about ChatGPTContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 16 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 15 of 366
Shared an wonderful evening with treasured family, watching the stage adaption of the Studi Ghibli film My Neighbour Totoro at the Barbican. We thought this day would never come as it was booked so long ago, but it finally arrived! This film, the second by Studio Ghibli, written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and releasedContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 15 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 14 of 366
IMHO it’s good to have goals. They don’t have to be big or difficult, a goal might be to read a book or visit someone you haven’t seen in a while. I lived for many years without any real goals – nothing to mark the passage of time – one day was just like anotherContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 14 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 13 of 366
A day of (relative) rest as I didn’t have to be anywhere until 5pm. Had a lay-in and reflected on the past week. For all the things that went well, I started to fixate on a rather fractious conversation with a colleague that unsettled me a bit and made me doubt myself. To take myContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 13 of 366”
Daily thoughts… Day 12 of 366
“Friday Night is Music Night”! Since I was a teenager I’ve been associated with a local orchestra. I generally played third flute and piccolo and this suited me well as I only had to attend a few rehearsals per term, which meant I could still go out with my friends on a Friday night afterContinue reading “Daily thoughts… Day 12 of 366”
